Tuesdays @ Monk Space PRESENTS
Grinding Sounds, Repeating Patterns, and Sonorous Incantations
Monk Space is an amazing place to take in a concert. It’s both intimate and welcoming, and the conversations before and after the show are often as inspiring as the music. I’ve found that one of the secrets of programing this series is to really understand the acoustics inside our brick-lined warehouse. Not every hall is good for every combination of instruments and in many ways Monk Space takes this to the extreme. Two things the space absolutely loves are low strings, and voice. Come hear bassist Scott Worthington and the Hex vocal sextet bathe Monk Space in luminous sonorities. –Aron Kallay
